Created attachment 422370 [details, diff] Patch 1. ZNC 1.6 requires SWIG 3, because of C++11, compiler also should be new enough (4.7+ for GCC, 3.2+ for Clang), but I don't know how to express this requirement in ebuild 2. ZNC 1.2 switched license to Apache2, so this line applies to every .ebuild file, not only 1.6.1 3. ./configure --enable-python uses "python3" as default value anyway, no need to specify it explicitly; the option is for cases when python3.pc is not available (e.g. Gentoo outside of znc.ebuild) I'm attaching patch for 1.6.1 ebuild.
Swig is actually not needed at all when building from a release, see http://wiki.znc.in/Modpython#Compiling and http://wiki.znc.in/Modperl#Compiling
That's true. However, with Gentoo's model of building software from source, I think it should ignore the prepackaged modperl/modpython files, because user can have /etc/portage/patches/net-irc/znc/... in place.
Hi, I've applied most of your changes in the version bump: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=942dfd926c80e680f564099f0b9535a2777c0245 I wasn't CCed to the bug so I didn't see your reply earlier. Do you need to patch the modpython/modperl code itself? Maybe it would be best to file a bug upstream if the shipped modules don't work for you. I don't thing Gentoo's znc ever rebuilt them anyway, I just tried compiling znc 1.4 and configure yields: swig: not needed I will now close this bug. If you want some changes made to the way the perl/python modules are built, I suggest you open a new bug.
OK, I just noticed you are actually part of the ZNC team, so I guess you don't have to file a bug if you want changes to the modules :) I only applied the licence change to the latest ebuild, I will now do it for the others.
Fixed in https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=feeff63379a395f1e708ced64fc12541e1d4d6b6
